Fort Tonyn And The Campaign Of 1778, Ripley P. Bullen
Fort Tonyn And The Campaign Of 1778, Ripley P. Bullen
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fort Tonyn, a small British fort during the American Revolution, is believed by some to have been located on Amelia Island at the site now occupied by Fort Clinch. The probable reason for this tradition is the fact that it is so located on a map prepared by W. G. F. Wallace, Esq., and included by Burton Barrs in his East Florida in the American Revolution. No substantiating evidence for this location is given by Barrs and it may be stated categorically that Wallace’s map is incorrect in this respect.
Code Duello In Florida, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Code Duello In Florida, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In young America, the common method by which a gentleman cleansed his honor of insult was to resort to arms under the code duello. The great majority of prominent men in the early days of the republic resorted to this adjustment at one time or another. Whether the insult were justified or not made no difference to the offended individual. If he were victorious in combat, either the righteousness of his Cause was considered upheld or the greater need for discretion in questioning his integrity was emphasized.
The Battle Of Marianna, Mark F. Boyd
The Battle Of Marianna, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
Subsequent to the military operations about Pensacola in the first year of the Civil War, most of West Florida remained remote from the struggle. Its main contribution to the Confederacy was salt produced from numerous evaporating establishments along the coast, which were frequently demolished by raiding parties from vessels of the Federal blockading squadron. It was also an important source of agricultural produce. The scarcity of good agricultural lands and distance from markets had restricted plantation farming to limited areas of Jackson, Washington and Walton counties. Although sparsely inhabited, the widely separated communities contributed heavily to the man-power of the …

Edward A. Perry, Yankee General Of The Florida Brigade, Sigsbee C. Prince Jr.
Edward A. Perry, Yankee General Of The Florida Brigade, Sigsbee C. Prince Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida’s Civil War hero, Edward Alysworth Perry, was a transplanted Yankee, born March 15, 1831, on a farm near Richmond, Massachusetts. He was a descendant of old New England stock which had migrated to America in the 1630’s. Arthur Perry, the first of the family to arrive in New England, was a member of a militia artillery company in Boston about 1638. From Boston the descendants of Arthur Perry migrated into Connecticut and western Massachusetts. Most of the early Perrys were farmers although some were ministers and a few dabbled in local politics.
Miranda’S Diary Of The Siege Of Pensacola, 1781, Donald E. Worcester
Miranda’S Diary Of The Siege Of Pensacola, 1781, Donald E. Worcester
Florida Historical Quarterly
The siege and capture of the British forts at Pensacola in April and May of 1781 brought to a climax Spanish participation in the American Revolution. The project was begun by Bernardo de GaIvez, the young governor of Louisiana who had already conquered the British posts in the Mississippi Valley and at Mobile Bay. The British still held out at Pensacola, their principal establishment in the Gulf of Mexico. Galvez landed there on March 18, and his force was soon augmented by troops from Mobile and New Orleans. It was not until the French and Spanish troops from Havana arrived …

A. Journal Of Lt. Robert C. Buchanan During The Seminole War: The Battle Of Lake Okeechobee, Frank F. White Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The journal of Lieutenant Robert C. Buchanan, adjutant of the Fourth Infantry, contains the chronicle of the operations of a unit in the campaign against the Seminole Indians from November 1837 to January 1838. Written during the pursuit of the Seminole Indians along the Kissimmee river and Lake Okeechobee, the journal reveals the conditions under which the soldiers lived and fought, his description of the country, and his views on the Seminoles and the war. There is also a description of the famous battle at Lake Okeechobee on December 25, 1837, for which action Buchanan received a citation.

Union Nationalism In Florida, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Union Nationalism In Florida, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Much has been written about the secession movement in the South, about the fire-eaters, the defenders of state rights, the evolution of theories to protect minority property rights, and the development of that sectionalism which is sometimes termed “Southern nationalism.” Less is heard about Southern defenders of the Union-men who conceived of their national loyalty as devotion to the federal union rather than to a section. These latter men, it is true, were in a minority in the South, but they were usually men of wealth and position who were able to make their views known if not popular.

Local historical societies in Florida can together accomplish much more towards the preservation of our State’s history than can the Florida Historical Society provided other societies are established in those areas where there are none now. Hence a major purpose of our Society should be and is cordial encouragement of them. Our members will recall the list of those societies in Florida which are active and inactive appended to the printed program of our last annual meeting. This shows that the number of active societies is larger now than at any time in the past. But the organization of other …

A Free Negro Purchases His Daughter, Herbert J. Doherty Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Many interesting sidelights to Southern history are to be found in the documents comprising the Richard Keith Call collection in the Florida Historical Society Library. Certain letters addressed to Call give us new and intriguing views of life in the old South. Here are two letters addressed to Call from Canada by a free Negro. We know very little about these letters or the circumstances surrounding them; as Call’s side of the correspondence is not preserved in the collection, nor is there any reference to the matter nor the persons in any other documents of the collection which this writer …
The Federal Campaign Of 1864 In East Florida, Mark F. Boyd
The Federal Campaign Of 1864 In East Florida, Mark F. Boyd
Florida Historical Quarterly
At this distance in time from the events of 1864 it is not possible to prepare a satisfactorily complete picture of the 1864 Federal campaign in East Florida. Basic for such a study is the extended series of orders and reports of Federal and Confederate general officers and unit commanders preserved in the War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Series I, Volume XXXV, Parts 1 and 2,1891 (page numbers in these volumes are hereafter cited in parentheses). A careful consideration of these leads to the conclusion that many gaps exist in the series.
